Asking a user to share their screen during a video meeting can help you view essential documents, intake applications, or webpages. Ask them to follow the steps below so you can see exactly what is on their screen.
- First, make sure you and the user have joined your video meeting. For step-by-step instructions on joining a virtual meeting, read more here.
- Once the user has joined your meeting, ask them to look for the green "Share Screen" button on their control panel.
- They will be asked what you'd like to share. Have them click on the first option "Screen" highlighted in blue. Then click Share.
- They will be able to see that the screen sharing is working because there will be a banner below their control panel that says "You are screen sharing" in green and "Stop Share" in red.
- Make sure you can see their screen and that they are able to navigate still.
- If they want to stop sharing their screen and prevent others from seeing what is on their screen, they can click Stop Share at any time.
